back to marseilles
Singer:john martyn
the boat for the bailey's leaves just on time
silver and indigo fisherman's lines
the scent from the quarter always in the air
mint tea and majoon - wish i was there
back in marseilles wish i was there
smooth of the slipper as you move through the souk
smooth feel of your feet as you slide through the souk
slide of your slipper as you move through the souk
hoping for my fishermen are going to come home alive
that's what i am watching all the time
take me back to marseilles
take me back to marseilles
never disgraceful of speaking in tongues
nothing to seek for no right in no wrongs
face of the women look so discreet
oh i'm back to marseilles
waiting for my fishermen to come home alive
take me back to marseilles
the boat from the bailey's docks just in time
silver and indigo still on the line
take me back to marseilles
